At Peruvian Connection, luxury alpaca, a fibre stronger and more rare than cashmere, is transformed into wearable art by the stunning virtuoso talent of Andean artisans. Ancient textile traditions, complex patterns, a myriad of hues, as well as a lifetime of knitting experience, go into our art-knit garments. Wondrously silky alpaca is warmer, lighter, and far more durable than other wools, but even more sumptuous is baby alpaca, the very first clip of the shearling alpaca. One touch and you’ll know why it was reserved exclusively for Inca nobility. Our other stand-out fibre, used in compliment with alpaca, is Peruvian pima cotton, harvested by hand and yielding an incredible velvety softness. We bring together the finest fibres, a small group of exceptional designers, and the well-honed skills of Andean knitters to create extraordinary works of beauty that we hope you will wear with pride and panache.

Our fall 2002 collection wraps you in the elemental luxury of dream-soft baby alpaca, lofty yarns of Peruvian pima, lustrous silk, supple suede, and the raw elegance of distressed leather. Timeless hand-crafted heirloom knits are teamed with an of-the-moment couture: the breathtaking bold print of an intarsiaknit coat anchored by butter-soft suede trousers. Or a gypsy flounce found in the handkerchief hem of our patchwork silk skirt. Victorian romance weaves its way through exquisite lace tops that can be sublimely accented with orchid, green, and apricot cameos. Sweater trends head in an unabashed sensual direction, with oversized, ample shapes, and textural, virtuoso knitting. Pair one of our nubby warm beauties with a skirt: try a sleek column of spiralseamed suede or the clean chic of an Aline in silky pima cotton. Florals bloom in a riot of hues saturating vests of clematis, cardigans of intarsiaknit wildflowers, chrysanthemum jackets, and petal-light pullovers in varietals of tiger lily, exotic Amazonian foliage, and even the dusky buds of a secret garden.

Tribal and ethnic designs revive a raw, primitive, tradition. Complimenting the folklore lure of our Andean art-knits, we globe trek with Turkish feather vests, a Rabari Festival coat dress, Moroccan inspired cardigans, skirts of Indonesian design, and the waking dream of a Sumatran boot-length vest. Define your details with our bold and beautiful accessories: leather belts strewn with cowrie shells, a sash of knotted pima, knit and tasseled handbags, baby alpaca scarves; or adorn yourself with the luxe punch of a marcasite lace
